Our First Visit to Santa!

We want to wish everyone A Very Merry Christmas! During this time of year things get pretty hectic and we seem to run our selves crazy. We need to remember the most important thing at Christmas time is remembering CHRIST and his Birthday. I love this time of year and all the giving that I get to do the best thing is watching my 3 beautiful children wake up on Christmas morning and being so excited that Santa made it to our house. This is a great age for each of them and they are so excited. Jake and JaKelle have had to talk to Santa a couple of times on the phone and they are so excited each time. JaKelle seems to remember everything that he tells her. We Love our Families and love spending time with them. I Love my Husband, My 3 Children, Our Parent's and Grandparent's, Our Brother's and Sister's, All of our wonderful friends, and most of all our Heavenly Father.

Henry Mountains Buffalo Hunting




Last week I was guiding a buffalo hunter from Michigan on the Henry Mountains. We were fortunate enough to find this big old bull in a mean nasty hole, and then stupid enough to shoot him. It was really stupid leaving them big black horses home, as we had to backpack the whole thing out. It was brutal but worth it, we measured him and he should score high enough to be in the top 15-18 in Boone and Crockett. It was a way good time.

Carving Pumpkins

Jake cleaning his pumpkin out. Boy carving pumpkins is a HUGE mess, now I know why my mom hated carving pumpkins.

JaKelle cleaning out her pumpkin she didn't know what to think of the slimmey insides. They were frozen inside because it has been so cold outside.

"Pumpkin Patch"

Last Sunday after church we took the kids to the "Pumpkin Patch" to pick them out a pumpkin for Halloween. What a challenge going through all the pumpkins in the field to find the one that was just right for each kid. They would find one and then decide that they liked another one better. This is the first year we have ever went to a field of pumpkins and let them pick out their own and it was alot of fun. Jarrett was a great helper being the oldest and all he knew exactly what to do and which one was best. They were also really excited to see the little bails of straw that came off of their Grandpa Perry's field so of course we had to get a couple of them also to put in the front yard. It was perfect fall weather to be outside and playing around.

"Thriller"

Our AWESOME weekend in St. George at "Thriller". This last weekend me, my two sister in laws and my mother in law all went down to Thriller for MerriLynn's early birthday. What a great time we had I wish it wouldn't have went by so fast. We left home Friday afternoon about 1:30 p.m. and arrived in St. George about 5:30 p.m. with a stop in Cedar City at Roberts Craft of course you always have to shop on the way. Then we got ready and went to see "Thriller" fabulous absolutely amazing to say the least. I think the whole time my jaw was on the floor other than when I was screaming because of the Zombies. I had heard alot about Thriller and everything I had heard was so awesome but you just cannot put into words how amazing those dancers really are. I soooo wish I could dance like them they have a real talent thats for sure. Well after "Thriller" we went to find some dinner and really the only places open at that time are fast food so we stopped at the ICEBURG drive inn. It was pretty good food but the Pumpkin shake Kaycie got for us to share was even better. After dinner we went to our room and went to bed to prepare for our shopping spree on Saturday. Saturday we shopped the entire day I just happened to wake up at the crack of dawn so Kaycie said and so I just decided to get ready and go shop. Why sleep in when there is shopping to be done. No lie we shopped the entire day so much I think we wore Kaycie out. Anyways I just wanted to tell the girls THANKS for a great weekend we need to do that more often. It was soooo much fun.
See I told you they just jump out of no where. Scared the heck out of me. Kaycie was my bodygaurd I couldn't let go they are so CREEPY.
A few of the Zombies hanging around waiting to jump out at the noisiest person or the most scared. lol

MerriLynn had to have her picture with Loraina Bobett. She was AWESOME!
After the show was over we got the chance to get our pictures with some of the ZOMBIES. They are really good at their job. As you can tell I am scared out of my mind and after this picture the kid on the left snuck up behind me and SCARED the holy heck out of me. You cannot turn your back or they show up unexpectedly.
This group right here was probably my favorite act of the nite. They were FABULOUS girl was soooo AMAZING I think she could bend in every direction possible and most of the time I thought she would brake. She looked like a rag doll flopping around on the floor.

Here Januari and I are getting attacted by this CREEPY Zombie. She just kept following us and the more we would SCREAM the more she would do it. But oh my heck it is so hard not too.

During the intermission we all had to go to the POTTY so we decided while we were out and about we would take a funny picture.


Here we are waiting for the show to begin. We were soooo excited I heard all kinds of stories about Thriller.

This is the beginning of our AWESOME night at "Thriller". I was a little bit scared about the ZOMBIES because of the stories that Kayla had been telling me at work. So first thing as we walked through the gates at Thriller we are met by a Zombies SCARY!!! Me, MerriLynn, Januari and Kaycie is taking the picture.
